However, I can't find a place that is not all the way on the other side of town and within reach via the TTC ^» 01 from where I live.

There is a place that is not far from where I used to live ^» 02 that has Perogies, but they are not the homemade kind.

I was hoping for some sauerkraut and some cottage cheese and dill...not store bought potato and cheddar.

Think I will go there anyway - they make a wicked Wiener Schnitzel and that would go down nice right about now.  Damn I am so hungry anything would go down nice right about now.

1. and by that I mean the street car then the subway then a couple of buses
2. around the corner from my old place in fact

Gooster tried his best to offer suggestions but they just did not quite do it for me.

I ended up coming home with;

• Whole wheat tortillas
• Low fat mozzarella
• Chicken breasts
• Whole wheat bagels
• Cottage cheese
• Red pepper
• Red onion
• Mandarin oranges in juice
• Mushrooms
• Eggs

Was going to make garlic/curry chicken with sautéed onions, mushrooms and peppers, throw in some cheese and do it all in a wrap...

However, when I got home I realised, 7 minutes until laundry was ready to be pulled out of the washer, sorted, some hung to dry the rest thrown in the dryer...and right now at this minute there is only 70 minutes left at the pool and I wanna get a swim in!

So right now it is a toasted bagel with honey and a few globs of cottage cheese.

Grab laundry.

Go swim.

Make supper?  If I do then I will have to do a power walk before bed.  ^» 01

1. the turnipHed does not jog

(PS - Happy Canada Day!)

I just paid 9$ for a measly piddly little chicken sandwich with 2, yes count them 2, pieces of lettuce, 3 cucumber slices, that were sliced so thin you could see through them and 4 onion slivers, and I mean slivers, I have seen toothpicks thicker than that!

Fuck off! A Big Mac is only $4.

Not only does a Big Mac fill you up, but you get a great colon cleanse a few hours later!

So tell me where is the justice in this whole picture?

Yesterday my laptop committed suicide. Right there in my lap. Luckily I suffered no physical damage; however this has really set me back.

I am crossing my fingers that I will be able to recover data from the hard drive but this will entail taking the machine apart, using an external hard drive case and then pulling the data.

I am going to have to cash in some of my stocks and dip into my savings to purchase myself a new laptop.

Right now I am using my desktop, ^» 01 which is about as useful as a "screen door on a submarine" and I am sure you all know how I feel about those!

Thankfully my sister is going to help me out.  We are going to fly back to Calgary ^» 02 a day early and she is going to buy the laptop that I have picked out and then when my money comes through I will pay her back.

I am really disappointed because I had been hoping to switch over to a Mac.  However, right now parting with that much money is not at all feasible.  I have to swallow this lump and deal with a "quick fix" in order for me to be able to continue my work.

Anyway so won't be posting much for the next few days, unless I can do it from my mobile.

I will do my best to write about the Sibling Silliness Adventures of yesterday; I did manage to upload the Album so it should be available on turnipPhotos for you to look at.

On a bad side note; neither one of us is feeling too good today and are both running for the bathroom; this is when it is really inconvenient to have only one toilet!

1. it is about 8 years old and is really just a chunky entertainment centre
2. so we don't have to pay provincial tax which means a savings of 6%

Tonight I was really starving and sick of soup!  I had a massive intense craving for solid food!

So I got my butt out over to the market to find something to eat for supper.

As I was walking through the produce section I saw these massive mushrooms ^» 01 and instantly I thought how tasty some sautéed mushrooms ^» 02 would taste.

I moved on.

Sure enough as I walk past the bakery to the butcher section, steak is on sale.

OK so yes I am weak, I have been craving steak for weaks ^» 03 and with a price tag of $3 for a massive steak who was I to refuse.

Picked up the steak, went back and grabbed the mushrooms and humped my ass back home.

Covered the steak in fresh garlic and cracked pepper and started cooking it while cutting up the mushrooms.

Skip that part and get to the eating bit.

Had to cut the steak up in such small pieces so I would not wear out my jaw but oh it was so good and juicy! ^» 04

However, I do not know if because I have not really been eating solid food for the past few days and my stomach has shrunk or if because it took me so long to get any food chewed, I could barely eat.

I think I had about 4 normal sized bites, combined, of steak and I probably ate 5 mushroom pieces and I was stuffed.

I could not eat another bit. So guess I have left overs.

1. I realise it is kind of hard to see how big they are with no reference but this was just a quick shot with my phone cam and I did not want to draw attention to me - but trust me they were about 10 times the size they normally are
2. in garlic, olive oil, butter and fresh ground pepper of course
3. that was an intentional misspelling
4. slurp

So made my favourite dessert. Just got my fingers crossed that it doesn’t upset me.

Mandarin oranges, Slivered Almonds, Fat Free French Vanilla Activa Yogurt.

So it looks like breakfast stuff is going to be; lemon yogurt; mandarin pieces, oatmeal, granola bars, hard boiled eggs and Carnation Instant Breakfast. ^» 01

As for the lunch and supper stuff....well that will be made from any of the following items I will be packing; spinach wraps, brie, marinated pepper steak strips, ^» 02, roasted red peppers, sautéed onions, asiago/artichoke dip, old cheddar, alfalfa sprouts and crackers of course.

I just went to grab a glass of milk and apparently last night while I was asleep I drank 2L of milk! Wish I had left myself a note so I would have picked it up at the grocery store! Now I have to get dressed, again, and head back out! ARGH!  ^» 03

I noticed today that I am going to be working with one of my favourite peeps! She is the one I mentioned before that I made my curry chicken for. This time she is bringing chicken - can't wait! YUM YUM!

1. I love CIB - kick start my metabolism in the morning - as I have no appetite when I wake up
2. in the fridge marinating right now
3. I tend to get up in the middle of the night to take a leak and I usually crave milk, so I chug a pint apparently last night I really was craving milk

She is talking to Valerie Bertanelli (sp? - too lazy to look it up - sorry V) about eating.

Salads keep getting attacked as being bad - as in a Ceasar salad has MORE calories than a Cheese burger at a fast food joint.

Or a Cobb salad has more calories than an entire Banana Cream pie. ^» 01

OK I love cheese burgers, Cobb salad and Banana Cream pie - not so crazy about Ceasar salad cause that would end up in me dying - however - what ever happened, or am I the only one that thinks about the overall picture.

How much fibre and other nutrients are in a Banana Cream pie or a Cheese burger compared to a salad of ANY kind.  Ain't no ruffage in any cheese burger I have ever had that compares to a salad.

Ok so all you health nuts and gym bunnies ^» 02 here is where you chime in!

1. hope it is a graham wafer crust
2. Moby

Picked way too soon, shipped in a heated truck so they turn yellow. When in fact they just metamorph into a phallic blob of mush. When I bite into a banana now all I can think of is trying to choke down a spoon full of white flour.

However if eating bananas makes this happen - gotta run! ;-P
